I don't think there is any need to change the DefaultSecurityManager the createSubject(SubjectContext subjectContext){...} method already does the check to set the securityManager if not set by the user. The exception can be taken as just a warning to the user. Perhaps the log level should have been set to warn than error or debug.

>             Project: Shiro
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Authentication (log-in)
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.2
>         Environment: Mac OS X 10.8.3, Java 1.6.0_51
>            Reporter: Stuart Broad
>            Priority: Minor

> I have run into a possible issue with regards to using the Subject login(use,pwd) api when the SecurityUtils SecurityManager has not been set (SecurityUtils.setSecurityManager(secMgr).
>         Subject currentUser = new Subject.Builder(securityManager).buildSubject();
>         UsernamePasswordToken token = new UsernamePasswordToken(userName, password);
>         currentUser.login(token);
> The code above results in an exception (this exception is not the end of the world as later in the code the current default security manager will get set so all should be ok):
> 15:31:01.325 [main] DEBUG o.a.s.s.s.DefaultSubjectContext - No SecurityManager available via SecurityUtils.  Heuristics exhausted.
> org.apache.shiro.UnavailableSecurityManagerException: No SecurityManager accessible to the calling code, either bound to the org.apache.shiro.util.ThreadContext or as a vm static singleton.  This is an invalid application configuration.

> I think the issue rises from line 1 of the following code in DefaultSecurityManager:
>     protected Subject createSubject(AuthenticationToken token, AuthenticationInfo info, Subject existing) {
>         SubjectContext context = createSubjectContext();  <-- Results in a context with no security manager
>         context.setAuthenticated(true);
>         context.setAuthenticationToken(token);
>         context.setAuthenticationInfo(info);
>         if (existing != null) {
>             context.setSubject(existing);
>         }
>         return createSubject(context); <-- This complains about no security manager
>     }
> Could the DefaultSecurityManager code instead be as follows?
>     protected Subject createSubject(AuthenticationToken token, AuthenticationInfo info, Subject existing) {
>         SubjectContext context = createSubjectContext();
>         context.setAuthenticated(true);
>         context.setAuthenticationToken(token);
>         context.setAuthenticationInfo(info);
>         context.setSecurityManager(this); <-- Set the security manager before the createSubject
>         if (existing != null) {
>             context.setSubject(existing);
>         }
>         return createSubject(context);
>     }
> This exception can be masked but I think it would be better not to raise it in this scenario.
